Drenched, Cold But Heavily Rewarded: A 7 Day Scottish Odyssey

Описание: Experience the enchanting and unpredictable beauty of the Scottish Highlands. From the biting -12°C winds of Glenshee to the serene white sands of Arisaig, join us on a 7-day adventure through some of the UK’s most rugged landscapes.

In this video, we tackle ski touring on Glas Maol, hike to the base of the North Face of Ben Nevis in a downpour (including a sketchy snow bridge collapse!), and find refuge in the iconic Camasunary Bothy on the Isle of Skye. We even got lucky with a pod of dolphins on the Mallaig ferry and a freezing "refreshing" dip in the Atlantic!
